Kevin Love has opted out of the final season of his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers to become a free agent.

Love was widely expected to opt out this offseason as he can at least sign a one-plus-one contract.

Love's season ended in Game 4 of the first round with a dislocated shoulder.

The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to pursue Love in free agency if LaMarcus Aldridge decides to leave. The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics are also planning on pursuing Love.

Adrian Wojnarowski reports the Cavaliers remain the frontrunner to sign Love to a long-term contract.
